My question entirely, Curly! I am a pescatarian crustacearean vegetable-eater and I hate having put stuff in front of me by well-meaners which - to all intents and purposes - looks, tastes and smeels like meat. Now, reason this woman here does NOT eat meat is because I can not abide the taste, look, texture and smell of it!
Weirdest of all: The only times I ever am subjected to that sort of fake-meat, yet meaty-tasting stuff is when I visit vegetarians! My meat-eating friends all just plonk veges in front of me (and do I love you for that? - yes, I do - with all my heart).

Actually, I thought that those sausages were made from vegetarians. Damn!

If you eat a normal human diet, you won't have this problem. If you insist on being wierd, don't be surprised if people don't know how to react

I actually think that some of the veggie sausages taste better thant the real thing!

(I'll get me coat then.)
